The amount of notice you may get can vary. Positions are always coming up, some sooner than others. Emergency positions may only leave you with a few days’ notice, so be prepared. We will always try to give the crewmember as much notice as possible and liaise between you (crewmember, newhire) and your employer.
If you have a commitment already scheduled, we highly recommend that you mention that very early in the process so we can ensure to have it in writing and be able to negotiate for you to start at a later date, after your commitment. Examples: weddings, court dates, family members’ surgery, pre-paid family vacation, and resignation notice at work based on your country’s labor laws.
For most employers, there is a maximum amount of time from your job offer for you to board. ONCE you get the news that you got the job, get ready as soon as possible. Your recruiter will guide you through the process. Ensure to check your emails and phone daily, and also check your junk inbox.
Sometimes the employers may contact you directly, we ask that you forward any communication to us before replying, and that you keep in close contact with your recruiter, who will help you until you get onboard.
